Friday 11th August 2023

Aki up early, as she planned to go rowing...but changed her mind, deciding to watch Japan v Sweden instead. I got up in time for the anthems. Porridged on the sofa. Japan were ineffectual for the first hour of the game, and were 2-0 down with 15 minutes to go...missed a penalty, got a goal back, hit the post...but couldn't turn it around. Iced the cake, with a lot of swearing. Aki did a good job of squaring the edges. Lunched on a ham salad. Vince turned up just as we sat down to eat. He did a bit of siliconing then departed. Aki cycled off to Highbury Pool in the sunshine. I made some chocolate truffles with the leftover ganache. Julia from No.29 came round with Oty to go through some of the Scottish folk tunes planned for September's street party. She took it all in her stride. Julia and Sechs are trying to get her into Camden School for Girls, which has a very strong music department. Took some slices of cake round to the neighbours...Brett at No.7 took some, as did Carlos at No.36, and Ben and Gayu at No,38, who had guests. Came home and decided to silicon the bathroom wash hand basin, and the bath, as it was looking a bit untidy. Broke for dinner...Aki warmed up the last of her aubergine parmigiana lasagne. Did a bit of tidying up before bath and bed...
